Welcome to the forum Rob.

Another vote for the magazine Michael. Keep up the good work.

Steve, it seems OK. But having said that, I have only had time to make two or three prints.
One mono print is very good indeed. I'll have to do some more trials and let you know...
It will depend on whether you're scanning negs or trannies (obviously!)

Cheers

Hmm - a 5x4 neg or trannie at 2400 dpi is a B I G file! I've not tried 5x4 yet - too busy printing some digital shots for our club's forthcoming portfolio competition. Maybe later...

Hope someone buys your work soon Chong. It's a real buzz when someone values your work isn't it?

My Canon D2400 scanner gave up the ghost earlier this week, so on Wednesday I ordered an Epson V700 from DABS. It arrived yesterday afternoon. First impressions are of good build quality, very good film holders and excellent scan quality. So far, I have only scanned a print and a 6x4.5 B&W neg. The ...

Thanks Carl! The barn shots were some of my first attempts with LF, so they are especially satisfying for me.

Hi John,

welcome to the group.

It's a lot smaller than the one I've been using and I think it will take some getting used to. But given that it weighs only 13...

Hmmm tetratrichotomy eh? I had an uncle who had one of those. Very painful by all accounts.

Check out www.secondhanddarkroom.co.uk They had a Devere 504 a while back. There are quite a few around and they do come up on ebay quite often.

Yup! It was lovely. The trick with them is not to overcook them - just 'al dente' is bang on.

I emailed Mike yesterday soon after I posted my note. I had a virtually instant response saying that it he thought it would work, but if it didn't he would refund my money. So I'll order one when I send off for my View Camera subscription. That cloth should be miles better than the horse blanket thi...

Thanks for the heads-up. I had a look at the Walker Camera website. Not only do their cameras look nice, but that focusing cloth looks a bit good. Hopefully, it would work with my Shen-Hao...
